On hold.

As you know, I need knee surgery. I have been trying to schedule my surgery for for several months. I think there may have been some kind of strike at my medical provider. When I call orthopedics, I get put on on "eternal hold." I am too busy to hold for more than an hour or so. Right now it's been only about 20 minutes, so I'll just soldier on. Have you ever been unable to contact your medical provider?

I hope you can find a way to get your knee surgery.
I am very thankful that our doctor is always available and reachable, and he always say in advanced when he will be out of the country, and before that, he makes sure that all of his patients who needs urgent medication was being taken care of. I pray that you will get your knee surgery soon.

So frustrating to be on hold for a long time. If I call the medical people for anything, most of the time I do now get moved to a message system that says to leave the information, etc. and the nurse or whoever, will call me back and they actually do call, even though sometimes it takes a few hours. It's better than having to just be on hold for half the day. Of course, if that option isn't offered, I am waiting...and waiting. I hope you can reach them for the answers you need.
